Description:
Noted for their funky blend of rootsy soul and jazz, The Gamble Brothers Band went to Ardent Studios in the heart of Memphis to lay down tracks for their new album, Continuator. Produced by Jeff Powell (Big Star, Afghan Whigs, North Mississippi Allstars), Continuator has what Powell describes as "a soulful, Memphis-style behind-the-beat feel, with a sound that jumps out of the speakers." The album follows the Gamble Brothers Band`s previous Archer Records disc, Back To The Bottom, which gleaned favorable reviews and comparisons with the likes of Booker T & the MG`s and The Meters. The band is comprised of Memphis keyboard player Al Gamble, his brother Chad Gamble on drums, tenor saxophonist Art Edmaiston and bassist Blake Rhea. The band revels in the space and freedom afforded by the absence of guitar. (Emergent/92E)
